The Owl Says "Who"?...

Some vintage lovers frown on the 1970's but not I.I have a soft spot for a lot of it.I like a lot of pieces from the boho look and for those of you that know me well know that I love 77 punk so the punk fashions of the 1970's also appeal to me.Don't get me wrong,there is a whole lotta bad too bad isn't that true with every decade?Heck,look at the 90's,sorry I think that was ALL bad and it's back in fashion again!*Throws up in mouth a little*.

Today's outfit was a mix of new and old.The knitted bolero I love and also have in a lavender,where did I get it?Oddly 5 years ago in the back of a clearance rack of Victoria's Secret!It's great too cause it goes over so many of the boring ole tank tops I wear a lot for nursing.My ballet flats I got off Ebay and are leopard print...I didn't realize until today that I had packed all my brown shoes already so this is as close as I could get to browns.Perhaps old fashioned but I hate mixing black shoes with brown clothing.Here is a close up of this darling 70's owl skirt I got from my friend Bailee's Etsy shop,you can check out her cute shop hereMy earrings are bakelite but I forgot to get a close up of those,they were a $1.00 score at an antique mall where the guy didn't know what bakelite was.The wooden bangles and the bakelite bracelet are thrifted.As you can see from the close up shop of the jewelry my daughter's Easter basket from her grammy today and I had to help myself to a few,heehee.

I think your outfit is so cute! I own one 70's skirt that I also really love, it is a wrap around skirt and it is off white (almost tanish), red, and blue with birds on it. I got it from a naked lady swap party. It is very comfy and casual, great for warm summer days.
